With two kids now, our week is pretty different. Staying home sounds easier and much safer to my sanity these days. But, I'm so excited for the new few months, when little man is not so little and the weather warms up and we can get back to our usual adventures at the farmers market and our favorite park.
This week....
Lia's learning how to write her last name at school. She flips her letters around and it's pretty cute.
She still holds the title of worlds best big sister!
This morning, she woke me up to tell me the new Wallykazam was on TV and her voice reached a new squeaky level on the excitement chart.
She tells me she can't believe we have a baby in the house (in a very happy way). My heart pretty much stays melted in a puddle on the floor most days.
She's been walking around the past few weeks with a mini lipstick and asks anyone around her if they need any and then gives them full instructions on how to apply it.
She won't let us take her tiny Christmas tree down.
Put on pajamas all by herself last night!
And has outgrown almost every piece of clothing she owns. And her beloved Saltwaters that were so good to us the past two years.
Nicolas turned four weeks old! We celebrated with a fun little photo shoot.
He was a much easier baby this week than his third week. He's back to eating, pooping and sleeping with very minimal fuss!
He's eating around 3 oz every 3-4 hours and only making us wake once or (occasionally) twice to feed in the night.
Slept for a few hours in his crib last night!
But, he's still not a huge fan of it.
Gave his sister a smile yesterday morning. (Gas or not, we don't care!)

Nailing down this two kid thing. Some days we're pretty seamless at who tackles who and what.
Family dinner at Outback.
Catching up on Blacklist with M.
Getting a Happy baby wrap in the mail yesterday. Though, I'm still deciding on it!
Did a little Spring cleaning in the kiddo's closets.
Here's to the weekend, xo!
A sweet friend stopped by our house on the Friday that Nicolas turned one week old and captured these gorgeous shots of our family. I was still recovering from my surgery and Lia really didn't want anything to do with having photos taken but I remember a feeling of magic as I stood in N's room feeling the warmth from the heater and the whooshing sound from the white noise machine. He was here and he was ours and I swear I had baby fever all over again in that moment. I still do some days. But watching over these photos was just perfect.
He's grown and changed so much since then. On Friday, we celebrate the one-month mark! It's hard to believe he's been here for a month but most days it's like he was always here.

It was a slow morning full of wind and rain and my two babes who were quite happy to see the sun come out eventually. The littlest one, I think, is going through a growth spurt and his usual bottles weren't filling him up. The biggest one wants to play all the time. And talk about the things she wants to do but can't today - like go outside or have a play date.
Lots of toys were strewn about the floors and tables. Laundry was folded. Diapers were changed. Dishes were washed. Mama got to read a few pages of a book! We watched the garbage trucks do their jobs and then watched the wind blow the empty bins away. And now, both babes are quiet and the husband is home and there's a homemade lasagna a sweet friend dropped off warming up in the oven.
All of this on a Monday...

Lia: she started climbing on the dining table this week to be closer to her brother and now she pretends it's just another personal jungle gym.
Nicolas: he napped all of ten minutes in his crib, just long enough for mama to snap a picture and toss in a load of laundry.
